Wallpapers turn walls into a home

Providing information, imparting and disseminating news and representing the interests of the German wallpaper manufacturers is the objective of the Association of the German Wallpaper Industry. The association acts both on the national and international level. Its primary concern and main scope of duties is to put the focus of the general public on its members and their products through different means of communication, and to establish uniform standards and quality criteria under one roof and in a binding manner.

While the Association of the German Wallpaper Industry represents the interests of the German wallpaper manufacturers and stipulates uniform guidelines for wallpapers through standardisation, the German Wallpaper Institute accompanies the work of the association as a comprehensive communications organ.

In order to reassure consumers when they select wallpapers, wallpaper manufacturers came together more than 20 years ago to form a quality association. RAL stands for this independent institution which is responsible for the creation of the RAL quality marks and specifies stringent test and quality regulations.
